Does the M140 2W only have 2 pins? I came across a older one in my toolbox and I am hoping its still functional.

The M140 has 3 pins.

Have a look at this its DTR's page for the M140 diodes:https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/445-m140-didoes. He tells you how to identify them and how to wire them up. If youre lucky you may have pulled the case pin...

Cant really use those photos. The 3rd and 4th ones are of most interest. Do you think you could try and get a sharper image. You could try turning on all the lights (or photographing outside in the sunlight), resting the camera on a surface so it cant shake when you press the button and using the macro function if you have one. Try to keep the iso as low as possible and maybe crop the image with your camera editing software (to show only the part of the photo with the diode pins), before you upload to LPF. :beer:

Yeah from those pics it seems your diode has NO pins

to me it looks like he got lucky and has the + and - pins there. hope so.....

It is easier to unsolder the pins if you take the module out unless it is glued in the sink.

Older one in your toolbox eh????

Looks a lot like the one you STOLE from me! gold plated C6 & copper module! Your other thread was the driver used also!!!


Well now you ripped the pins & took all wires & shrink tubing off congrats!
It wasn't meant to be taken apart!!! It was glued in there good luck getting it out :na:
